Overview

What is Dante?

Audinate’s patent pending Dante™ technology is a

ﬂexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet based

digital AV network technology that eliminates the many

bulky cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for

analog AV installations.

With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for

high performance audio as well as for ordinary control,

monitoring or business data trafﬁc. Digital networks

utilize standard IP over Ethernet offering high band-

width capable of transporting hundreds of high quality

channels over Gigabit Ethernet.

Set-up and conﬁguring the system is made easy as

well, saving enormous installation costs and long term

cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical

connecting point is irrelevant: audio signals can be

made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching

and routing now become logical functions conﬁgured

in software, not via physical wired links

About the DNT Processors

The DNT16i is an “input” device, providing 16 analog

mic/line inputs. The input signals are digitized and

each channel is routed through a comprehensive set

of ﬁlters, delay and dynamic processing, and the digital

audio is then available as input signals to a digital

matrix in the processor. The matrix in the proces-

sor provides advanced automatic mixing algorithms

at 48 different crosspoints, and the ﬁnal mix in each

crosspoint can be routed to a Dante transmit channel.

The DNT0212 is an “output” device, subscribing to

Dante network transmitted channels, converting them

to analog audio and providing 8 line level and 4 mic/

line level outputs. An internal digital matrix with 48

crosspoints provides advanced automatic mixing algo-

rithms of inputs from analog local sources, Dante sub-

scriptions and foldback from its own mixes (submixes).

The ﬁnal mixes can then be routed to analog outputs

or Dante transmit channels. Each analog output chan-

nel includes delay, ﬁlters, compressor, gain and limiter.

The Dante outputs include delay, ﬁlters, compressor

and gain. In addition, two analog line level inputs are

available for use in applications such as local, directly

connected emergency voice evacuation equipment.

Both models have internal signal generators for setup

and diagnostics:

• PinkNoise

• WhiteNoise

• Tone

• Sweep

Switched and Redundant Modes

The rear panel Dante ports allow operation in a

switched mode through a single network using either

jack, or in a redundant mode through two separate

networks using both jacks simultaneously. Redundancy

is required in some applications where it is imperative

that no audio is lost due to network problems, such as

in courtroom recording. The secondary network dupli-

cates real-time audio trafﬁc. If the primary network fails

for any reason, the secondary network’s audio contin-

ues without losing even a single sample.

See page 9 and also refer to the help ﬁles and docu-

mentation provided by Audinate for more informa-

tion regarding the setup for switched and redundant

modes.
